Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has warned Tory MPs not to sack Liz Truss - as he claimed it could be a nightmare for the economy.
The ally of the crisis-hit PM said any attempt to replace Ms Truss would be a "disastrously bad idea politically and also economically" and said the Government needed to bring certainty to spooked markets.
His desperate plea comes only five weeks into Ms Truss's premiership, which has so far been marred by political chaos and economic turmoil.
